Against The Gods
Chapter 114 – At the End!!

"What are you trying to do?"

Suddenly, Jasmine felt the profound energy in Yun Che's body begin to circulate abnormally, and immediately became alert. He asked him solemnly: "Are you trying to forcibly understand the fifth and sixth stages of this [World Ode Phoenix]? Have you gone mad! "

"A lifetime of opportunity has been placed right in front of me. If I don't try it, I'll regret it forever! "Jawab Yun Che with his eyes closed. His consciousness had completely sunk into the soul imprint within the jade. [The world of the Phoenix Ode] is recorded using soul traces, so one must use soul power to read it. If one managed to understand it, then it would be completely recorded in his own soul. And if one was unable to comprehend it, after leaving the trial grounds, the words, images, and methods to circulate the profound energy recorded on the jade would be completely erased from his memory. Therefore, for Yun Che, who only had one month to comprehend the remaining part of this fragment, it was, it was basically impossible for him to perform the fifth and sixth stages as a memory as a temporary solution and then find the first four stages to understand in the future

“Without the first four stages, how will you understand the fifth and sixth stages? Are you trying to get fruit right away when you don't even have the roots? If you try to force yourself to go down the opposite path, the most likely result is a distortion of your blood vessels, messing up your channels, and even the profound entrances that you have fully opened will close one after another. ”

"Since I don't have the foundation of the first to fourth stage, I will build my own foundation!" Yun Che calmly replied.

“Build your own foundation? Do you know how many tens of thousands of years the Primordial Phoenix Clan spent to finally obtain this [World Ode of the Phoenix]? And do you realize how many revisions, changes, and evolutions were made after they were first made? You only have one month at most, yet you still want to build your own foundation to understand the fifth and sixth stages? "Jasmine shook her head," Even if you are truly a peerless genius, it is still impossible to do so!"

"Let me try it!" Yun Che deliberately replied in a low voice. Then, he cut off all the other parts of his consciousness, and immersed himself completely in the soul imprint of the [World Ode Phoenix] …

Yet at this moment, neither Yun Che nor Jasmine realized that under his outer clothes, an eccentric light suddenly radiated from the pendant he was wearing from birth.

Outside of the seal formation, Lan Xueruo waited anxiously. An hour passed .. Two hours passed .. Twelve hours passed .. One day and night passed .. His expression had long since darkened. The inside of Feng Baichuan's heart became extremely silent as well.

"Did anyone really die in this training?" Looking at Feng Baichuan who had walked there again, Lan Xueruo turned her head to the side and asked with lifeless eyes. He had already asked this same question over a dozen times.

Feng Baichuan sighed deeply in his heart and could only try his best to console him: "Some clans have indeed died in this trial. But ... We should not be this pessimistic; it cannot be said for sure, but perhaps Little Brother Yun passed the training. Our ancestors who passed this trial, had stayed inside for over a dozen days before coming out. So .. let's wait a little longer. Maybe he'll be out in a minute now. ”

While saying this, Feng Baichuan, who had experienced the first-hand Phoenix trial, clearly understood that it was impossible to pass the trial with just first-rate strength from the Nascent Profound Realm. Since Yun Che had yet to come out, the only possible outcome was that he had already died in court. However, at this moment, he could only use these words to comfort Lan Xueruo, and let her hold a trace of hope.

"Leader of the Feng Clan, do you have a way to let me in?"

Feng Baichuan shook his head, “Only one person can enter the trial every month, I have no way to let you in. ”

Lan Xueruo bit her lips and did not say a word as she quietly stood before the entrance of the trial, staring blankly ahead; her heart frantically missed the appearance of the figure … He had no idea what had happened to him, to be completely secretly anxious and worried thus far. Every time he thought about the possibility of the man dying at the trial venue, his heart would experience a tearing pain.

Barricaded outside by the Black Demon Mercenary Group, the Thousand Meter Sound Transmission Talisman consumed, the Giant Snow Eagle was still asleep. However, when Yun Che did not come out all day, he objected, and could not calm down at all.

Two days passed .. Three days passed .. Ten days passed .. Fifteen days passed …

Yun Che had still not appeared.

So Lan Xueruo could not hold on to the delusions anymore, and had no choice but to accept the fact that Yun Che had already died in court and would never come out.

He had been living in darkness these past few days, and the piercing pain in his heart would not stop, day or night. At first, she believed the reason for her pain was the loss of "hope" she eventually found, but she was unable to suppress this kind of pain, no matter what, happened, and his heart stiffened every time he remembered Yun Che's face. He slowly became confused, as he could feel that this kind of suffering had long surpassed the category of feeling regret. But he did not know which part was exceeded, because this kind of feeling was very elusive, and very foreign.

"Family . Half a month had passed and they were still not out! Food was clearly prepared inside this cave! "

"What are you worried about! No matter how much food and water they had, there would be a time when their resources were depleted. Hmph, let's see how much longer they can last. ”

Under Feng Baichuan's frugal distribution, only a third of the rations and water Yun Che left behind remained after half a month. He furrowed his brows every day as he fiercely thought of a way to escape. However, in the presence of absolute suppressing power from the outside, he was on the edge of reason and even if he thought until his brain died, all they could do was endure with great difficulty.

Twenty days passed .. Twenty-five days passed …

Month passed.

Under the protection of the seal formation, the grieving Phoenix clan finally reached the end of the line after enduring with great difficulty for an entire month.

The spatial ring that Yun Che had given Feng Baichuan had been completely emptied two days before, and not a single grain of food or water droplets remained. Adults had low levels of profound energy, which allowed them to last a little longer, whereas parents and children collapsed one after another due to the unrelenting horror of their hunger. Once they lost consciousness, it was impossible to wake them up again.

Feng Baichuan's eyes were deeply sunk and he sat in a corner of the cold cave as he choked on the deep abyss of helplessness and despair. At this point, he already did not know what he should do next .. If they continued to stay here, their entire clan would starve to death; whereas if they left, if they left, violent and ruthless bandits would kill them all . Maybe they might even destroy and torture them in every possible way because they did not give up the so-called treasure, he said, that would be an even more miserable death.

“You're all inside, listen carefully. You just need to come out obediently, then hand over the treasure and the woman, and we can assure you that we will not touch any of you. Furthermore, we will never enter this area a second time. ”

“They really are a bunch of fools. What do you want to achieve by hiding like this? Even if you don't care about your life, do you not care about the life of your family and children? You will die sooner or later staying inside. Come out and surrender obediently, and, once you meet our requirements, we promise that none of you will die. We'll even let you all eat good first! ”

On the verge of despair, the cries of the Black Demon Ghost Army became increasingly difficult to resist in everyone's ears. At this moment, an old man staggered over and said, “ Clan Leaders, what they said is also true; sooner or later we will all starve to death here. At this point, there was no meaning in hiding anymore. We better go and give up; maybe they'll do what they say and won't harm us.

“Come out of the question!” Feng Baichuan actually shook his head and replied vaguely, “You should have felt it before, – they all carry varying degrees of hostility towards our bodies. This was a gang of vicious and ruthless bandits who paid no attention to human life. If we go out, we will only die more miserably and even suffer humiliation. Let's wait a little while longer .. Miss Xueruo said that her contracted spirit beast would wake up; when the time comes, we would have hope of being saved. Even if we all end up dead .. I would rather starve to death than be humiliated to death! "

"Zuer ~~ Xian'er !!!"

Just when Feng Baichuan finished speaking, Feng Caiyun's heartbreaking cry sounded. Feng Baichuan suddenly stood up and jumped in front of his wife, Feng Caiyun .. Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer lost consciousness in Feng Caiyun's chest. Their faces were pale with a tinge of yellow, and no matter how Feng Caiyun shouted, they did not give any response.

"Zuer, Xianer," Blood flowed out from Feng Baichuan's fingertips, and his eyes filled with tears. He then raised his hand to slap his head forcefully and nearly fainted from despair.

Lan Xueruo, who had been curled up in a corner the entire time, slowly stood up. Perhaps it was too tired, because the Giant Snow Eagle still had not woken up after a month had passed. At this moment, he knew that if they were unable to make another plan, they would not be able to hold on even for another day.

"Leader of the Feng Clan, can I trouble you to temporarily open the seal formation outside? I'll go out and get some food to bring back. ”

Listening to Lan Xueruo's words, Feng Baichuan became dumbfounded before quickly shaking his head, “No! It was too dangerous; with so many people outside, how would you take food from under their noses? "

Lan Xueruo replied with a determined gaze: "After all, I do indeed possess the profound strength of the True Profound Realm. As long as some leaders of the True Profound Realm are absent, it is unlikely to be dangerous for me. Right now, all these children were already unable to survive. If I still don't go and get food, they may be … "

Feng Baichuan's lips twitched. Looking at Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer who were losing consciousness, he finally nodded his head and said bitterly: "Miss Lan, then you must be careful ..We are all big men here helpless, helpless, you are very careful, yet we can only trouble Girls like you risking your life for us. Really … "

"It doesn't need to be like that, Clan Leader Feng. I believe that if Clan Leader Feng has sufficient strength, you will definitely be the first one to come out.. Immediately disable the seal formation, then immediately activate it again after I exit. Once I get the food, I will signal you through the sound to disable the seal formation again. ”

Although his plan was accompanied by a very high risk, it seemed to be the only reasonable temporary solution to free them from their current crisis. Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, bit his mouth, dripped his blood on the seal and said worriedly: "You must be careful!"

In Feng Baichuan's voice, the red-colored seal formation lit up before slowly disappearing. With a long sword in hand, Lan Xueruo's body suddenly shot outwards as she left a flash of white ghosts.
